The pavilion

“MeteoWorld” on the theme “for the safety and well-being of the people” is operated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and China Meteorological Administration (CMA), in partnership with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the Group on Earth Observations, the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, and the Association of Hydro-Meteorological Equipment. The pavilion covers 1 500 m2 and has the form of a white cloud with surrounding mist. Visitors are able to see a rainbow when the angle of the sunshine is below 42 degrees, as well as simulations of climatic extremes. “MeteoWorld” is adjacent to the United Nations pavilion, in which WMO participates as the UN Specialized Agency for meteorology (weather and climate), operational hydrology and related geophysical sciences
